Time flies, and in a blink of an eye, it is January of the tenth year of Chongzhen.

Jiaodong in January is still bitterly cold, and Wang Zheng has been back in Ninghai City for a few days.

December last year was Wang Zheng's first month in office, and he hardly spent much time in the inspection department here, and Hao Sicheng borrowed a few account rooms and book offices that were not bad, and handled some things that Wang Zheng did not understand in an orderly manner.

A few days ago, the first thing Wang Zheng did when he came back was to ask about the recent account room, and after reading it, he was also amazed, so he waved his hand, and these account offices were flattered, and they all received the corresponding rewards, and the monthly money was also increased a lot.

Several account office clerks were grateful, but Wang Zheng didn't take this matter to heart at all, and after asking, he went to work on other things.

These accounts and clerks were originally reluctant, and the inspection and those who investigated the salt were all rough people, how could the monthly salary of the subordinate clerks be high.

This concept has to start from when Zhang Dacheng did the inspection, the inspection of the master, the bookkeeper, the secretary and other positions are indispensable, but most of these people are not in the stream, there is no grade at all, just the inspection of private placement, the monthly money is determined by the inspection.

Zhang Dacheng, the inaugurated inspector, like other local inspections, did not have Wang Zheng's intention to become bigger, and the only purpose was to make money, and the money was either to Chenghaixuan and Wanhualou to be happy, or to go to the gambling house to gamble and play cards.

As an inspector, Zhang Dacheng didn't even know about his subordinate salt ding, and he also ignored it, and the inspection had to be urged by a few salt leaders to go out very reluctantly.

In contrast, Wang Zheng's monthly salary for the account office is not low, and it is handed over to them in full at the beginning of each month, that is, there is no arrears at all, and now in addition to the monthly money, there is actually a reward in hand.

These accounts and bookstores got so much money for the first time, and it always felt unreal, their hands were shaking at the time, they used to do the same things on Hao Sicheng's side, and they still did these things on Wang Zheng's side, but the results were completely different.

For the first time, they have a sense of expectation for their future life, and they have only gotten so much money in a month, as long as they do it well, it is not impossible to go straight to the well-off in the future, how can they not be grateful.

On this day, the inspection department and the office were a little different, there were constantly people coming in and out, there were a few Hongliang carriages parked outside the office, about 100 or so salts were helping to carry them inside and out, and there were nearly 200 Wendeng soldiers gathered outside, not knowing what to do.

Knowing that the inspection king has returned, even the streets near the inspection department have become deserted, and no one wants to be caught by the arrogant and unreasonable salt ding as a substitute for the dead.

Wang Zheng smiled helplessly when he heard this, it seems that the concept of oppression and goodness of the inspection department is still deeply rooted in the hearts of the people, and it is not something that can be changed by taking over for a month, so let's take it slowly.

"My lord, the second floor of Chenghaixuan has been covered, and the brothers of the Inspection Division have seen many familiar poles on the road go up to the second floor, including the shopkeeper of Chishan Town."

Hearing this, Wang Zheng, who was packing up his things in Zhang Dacheng's bedroom in the past, let out a sigh, put down the wooden box in hand, and said with great interest:

"It seems that these salt poles are discussing things, and at this time, if our inspection department doesn't come to it, it will make people look soft."

Shao Yong's face was happy: "What do you mean...?" ”

Wang Zheng said: "Gather the salt dings, and Shao Yong, you call Dong Youyin and a few of them, and Wendeng Camp can't be idle." ”

"Yes!"

Chenghaixuan, there were bursts of shouting and cheering from inside.

From time to time, some people with big shoulders and round waists walked in, and went up to the second floor in a rough voice, and the guests who were eating and drinking on the first floor walked away with a look of disdain after seeing it.

If it weren't for the need to take care of decency in broad daylight, I am afraid that someone would have already reported to the official and arrested people.

After these people went up to the second floor, they were also restless, all of them were loud voices, sitting there constantly shouting and arguing, talking about not selling smuggled salt, or loudly insulting Wang Zheng, saying that this inspection set up some unwritten money, what kind of headache for everyone, and the people who heard it downstairs were all pale.

Cheng Haixuan's owner is Hao Sicheng's friend, called Qian Jingui, Wang Zheng has also had dinner with Qian Jingui a few times, and the relationship is quite some.

At this time, Qian Jingui was standing on the first floor of Chenghaixuan, and a few guys and the account room were face to face, today's business package made Qian Jingui regret it, if he had known that these people were selling smuggled salt, Qian Jingui would not have taken it.

Suddenly thinking of something, a cold sweat broke out on Qian Jingui's head, if Wang Zheng knew about this, would he think that he was deliberately fighting against him?

"It seems that after today, I will send some silver to the inspection department, otherwise I will be arrested as an accomplice of these salt dealers, where will I be reasonable."

On the third pole of the day, a Chenghaixuan guy was extremely reluctant to be pushed upstairs to deliver tea, went up to the second floor, saw the ferocious appearance of these salt sellers, this guy's legs were weak, and the tea in his hand almost didn't fall to the ground.

"Everyone... Ladies and gentlemen, please. Please use tea. ”

"Fart tea, bring wine to Lao Tzu!"

At that moment, a man slammed the table and got up, so frightened that the young man ran downstairs in a smoke, and did not want to come up again.

The guys who went up in the future were naturally waiting carefully, and no one wanted to provoke these bully salt dealers, but even so, if something was wrong, he would be scolded for a while.

Chenghaixuan is the only decent restaurant in the state city, and there are also many nobles in Pingsuli, so if it goes on like this, some people will soon be unable to stand it, and there will be a 'bang'.

A person got up with the sound, wearing leather armor and a big knife hanging from his waist, and several family members at the table next to him also rose in response to the sound after this person got up, clearly showing that he was a real power president of the state city.

It was Mr. Lu Kui who got up, he often went to the second floor of Chenghaixuan, and it was very pleasant to drink a little wine while watching the scenery, and it was a little surprising to hear that the second floor was wrapped up today, but he didn't say much, and found a quiet corner on the first floor to drink.

Unexpectedly, the movement on the upper floor was getting bigger and bigger, Lu Kui couldn't bear it, and his temper came up at that time, saying that the Qian Dongjia should not persuade him again, and the master would go to the second floor to sit on the second floor today to see who dared to stand in the way.

Unexpectedly, just halfway through, the hundreds of salt lords on the second floor just got up one after another, looking at Lu Kui and a few people with unkind eyes.

Only two of these salt barons were wearing long robes, and one of them was the chief shopkeeper of the Red Mountain Salt Works, and the other was speaking at this time.

"Why, didn't you make it clear? Today, the second floor of Chenghaixuan was covered by me. ”

Lu Kui stopped and took a few breaths, and even the few family members behind him became silent, and their eyes flickered.

No matter how big Lu Kui's temper was, he didn't dare to attack again, and immediately said a good word, saying that it was that the masters ate and drank well, and obediently took a few family members downstairs, and walked out of Chenghaixuan without looking back.
